UNSPSC 10218322: Live leucospermum tomentosus

Live plant including the root ball of the tomentosus variety of leucospermums

UNSPSC 10218322 Live leucospermum tomentosus is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this code identifier. Recent opportunities solicited under this code encompass landscaping installation, coastal dune restoration, environmental site management, and general plant procurement — none of which involve leucospermum tomentosus or protea family specimens. The issuing bodies include county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida) and municipalities (City of Dallas, Texas) procuring landscape services, dune stabilization work, and plant materials through ITBs, IFBs, Quick Quote informal processes, and RFPs. The mismatch between the code's botanical specificity and the generalized landscape and plant-procurement work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a code that no longer reflects current procurement practice.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where three of five solicitations originated in the first quarter of 2026. Pasco County issued IFB KM-26-047 on March 13, 2026 (due April 14, 2026) for landscaping and irrigation installation along Ridge Road, including trees, shrubs, palms, and groundcover species; Collier County issued a Quick Quote on March 13, 2026 (same-day deadline) for coastal dune plantings comprising 56,250 native plants; and Pinellas County released an RFP for five-year environmental planting and maintenance services (due July 29, 2025, with a contract period extending 2025–2030). DeKalb County issued ITB 2026-076-ITB on June 9, 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for IT and Low Voltage Infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center, which is unrelated to plant procurement. The City of Dallas solicited general plant purchases under IFS 215260 in January 2026 (due February 3, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement activity around the named species and appears misaligned with actual state and local buying patterns.
